It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy… I got something to announce: We're launching PROTOTYPE: a new fund, fully focused on Europe. A small fund that punches way above it's size. With it we back what Europe is world-class at: robotics, automation, manufacturing, and anything that requires hard engineering. First check. First round. As early as it gets. Europe invented industry. We're the birthplace of precision manufacturing. The second largest manufacturing hub on the planet. Leaders in automation and robotics. And yet… We sell out our best tech to China. We export our best founders & most of our investment money to the US. That's insanity. What should we do instead? Build the next trillion euro companies in robotics, manufacturing, automation right here: in Europe. Showcase to young founders what is possible and change the system around them where needed. What we will do: → Publish all our fund updates and build in public: updates.prototypecap.com/ → Showcase Europe’s Most Ambitious Startups on Youtube: youtube.com/@prototypecap → Launch & support more projects like @euinc_petition. Enough talking about Europe. Time to build it: Startups, makerspaces, student clubs, and much more. → And most importantly, invest into the best founders in Europe. Same model as our previous funds that are in their top 1-5% cohorts worldwide. We won’t do a VC fund in the classic sense. This will be a community of hyper-ambitious people who want to actively change Europe for the better. It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy. Check out prototypecap.com!

When I struggle to structure my thoughts about what's happening I turn to writing. Today about the recent US Anthropic ban news, what it says about power and dependency, and what it should mean for Europeans and citizens of the world. It's a long one. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/13/a…

Why hasn't anyone yet build a Trump Trillion Tracker yet? Collect all business stakes of the Trump family. They have to end up doing trillion net worth after they are done with the US – would be fun to monitor it. Include Eric Trump's, Don Trump, Pres Trump, Kuschner and Ivanka business stakes in USA, China, Latam, UAE, real estate, etc, gifts, board seats, people buying their real estate funds, using trump hotels at absurd rates, buying their crypto or wallets or or phones shoes or etc etc etc etc etc. There isn't a day a trump-involved business doesn't get a government favorable treatment or competitor punitive act. Would be an insanely cool web-of-cronyism visualization

The IPO marketing atm is out of control.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

It’s kinda wild that you either build kill and surveillance switches for a signal-brochat government or get punitive punishment favoring your competitors the people running the government likely have ownership in. This is banana republic style politics

Iconic backdrop. Serious topic. Best company. Thanks for this conversation about our work with Europe 2031 and driving the required change @andreasklinger
Europe 2031 just dropped. A five-year scenario of our continent's slide into AI irrelevance, by Judith Dada & the people who advised European leaders. It’s pretty dystopian. But it doesn't have to end where it ends. A few weeks ago I sat down with Judith in front of the Acropolis, birthplace of Western civilization, to find out what it takes to make Europe into a global AI powerhouse. Judith Dada is one of the sharpest voices on Europe, AI, and what needs to happen next. She is a GP at Visionaries Club, runs Relativity Collective, writes one of the best blogs on AI and Europe. The numbers she lays out are brutal. Europe has 5% of global compute. The US has 80%. Europe is 25% of global GDP. That math ain’t mathing. So we talked about the hard trade-offs: - Why Europe shouldn't try to rebuild every layer of the stack from day one, but instead own a few choke points where the world can't circumvent us, and use that leverage to build the rest over time. - Why we need the second-best AI labs here even if they never become number one, because those teams spawn the next generation of companies that do AI for medicine, energy, research. - And why the real problem isn't regulation or paper trails. It's that not enough people in Europe have had their wake-up moment yet. Her bet on fixing it: get the best young people across Europe to know each other from the youngest age. Exposure to ambition breeds ambition. It's the single most powerful force anyone can experience. Full conversation in the video. Filmed where it all started. 🦾🇪🇺

Market fragmentation is one of the biggest obstacles for European growth and prosperity. Nothing we do will fix European stagnation until fragmentation itself is fixed. 27 seven capital markets need to become 1 for Europe to be able to compete.

Just met a friend who i apparently didnt see for the last two years. Meanwhile she started a company that now adds eur 1 million per week. Unicorn valuation and several hundred people team. Startups can be wild. 🤯

Portco of mine just launched a new product. Kinda impressive tbh. Basically you can build any kind of app using satellite data. You can run image recognition on terabytes of data using a single prompt. They handle the infrastructure and data sourcing - or you bring your own.
As part of the launch we built datacenterbuildout.com with an agent on Tilebox. The site tracks US data center construction using satellite imagery, with a web frontend, backend workflow, before/after imagery, rankings.. Here's what we didn't have to do: - set up workflow infrastructure - build a complex CI/CD pipeline to roll out changes - wire up observability - copy-paste logs, traces, errors, and failure modes back into the agent - explain where the satellite data lives or how to load it - tell the agent how to parallelize the work - manually deploy each workflow iteration That's the development loop that this launch unlocked data context → workflow code → deployment → observable jobs → inspectable outputs → iteration

Most of Europe has not yet absorbed what AI is about to do to us. The few who have are not saying it loudly enough. We wrote Europe 2031: a five-year scenario of the continent's slide into irrelevance, how AI is driving it, and what can still be done to change course.

A fully electric autonomous tractor that lifts 4 tons, pulls 8 tons, runs 24 hours, and you can repair it in the middle of a field. This is Voltrac. 🦾 Made in Europe 🇪🇺 How would you design a futuristic autonomous tractor? Voltrac threw out everything and started from scratch. 70% fewer parts. One motor per wheel. Hot-swap batteries. Backwards compatible with any attachment a farmer already owns. Voltrac is more than a tractor, it’s the brain of the farm. One operator supervises multiple tractors across multiple farms. Every drive analyzes the crops, catches disease early, cuts fertilizer costs. And the same hitch that connects to farm tools connects to demining gear and resupply payloads for the front line. Disclaimer: I'm an early investor, because this is exactly what Europe needs. Europe had 70 million farmers in 2020. Projected 7 million by 2030. Our population keeps growing. Everyone still wants to eat. Somebody has to solve this. They build in Valencia, not China. Because the talent, the precision manufacturing, and the know-how are all here. We just forget how good we are. If we don't build this, someone in China will and sell it to European farmers. 🇪🇺🔥 Full Video on YT!

I wrote up how I built the shitty robot so you can too. This was a fun project that will keep on giving. Thanks to all the open weights folks out there, without whom this would not have been possible. mariozechner.at/posts/2026-0…
